Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2026) - 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) ("01 Quantum" or the "Company"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, announces it has received a Notice of Allowance for its secure Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

United States patent application No. 19/341,748 has been examined by the USPTO and is allowed for issuance as a Patent. The invention, a secure AI professional/managed service for enterprises, and government such as national defense, as well as a secure AI model marketplace system, secures both models and user data by managing computation-preserving-cryptography (CPC) encryption of data and models with public and private CPC user key pairs.

This Notice of Allowance marks an important milestone for the Company from both an R&D and commercial perspective. It reinforces the innovative nature of 01's secure AI professional/managed services and its model marketplace platform, as well as strengthen the Company's ability to showcase this differentiation in business development discussions with prospective enterprise and government defence customers.

As governments and enterprises accelerate adoption of AI systems, concerns around data exposure, model theft, and quantum-era vulnerabilities are becoming more relevant purchasing criteria. These efforts are increasingly important as stakeholders seek to protect their proprietary AI models and data, in an accelerating AI race. 01 Quantum's architecture for encrypted AI computation gives the Company a defensible, differentiated position. For customers, partners, and channel integrators, this provides independent third-party validation that 01 Quantum's secure-AI approach is both novel and technically credible further strengthening the Company's go-to-market messaging and competitive posture, supporting the Company's organic revenue growth efforts.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum, stated, "Our Quantum AI Wrapper technology (QAW), embodies our patent application. It is designed to let AI systems work on data without ever exposing that data in readable form. It does this by combining Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which allows computation on encrypted information, with our standards-based IronCAP™ PQC. The result is an AI environment where prompts, model parameters, and outputs stay encrypted end-to-end, even if the underlying system is compromised."

The Company demonstrated an application embodying its QAW technology at its recent Shareholders' Meeting. The demonstration is available on its web site under Investor Relations / Recent Events at: Investor Relations AI Demonstration
